tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine
Install the callbacks via the state machine. The notifier in struct ring_buffer is replaced by the multi instance interface. Upon __ring_buffer_alloc() invocation, cpuhp_state_add_instance() will invoke the trace_rb_cpu_prepare() on each CPU. This callback may now fail. This means __ring_buffer_alloc() will fail and cleanup (like previously) and during a CPU up event this failure will not allow the CPU to come up.
